"Yingying, why are you so silly? What will happen to your mother if you leave?"
When Su Linran opened her eyes, she saw a woman lying on her crying, and a man standing beside the bed sighing.
"System, what's the situation now?"
"The host's current body is called Gu Wanying, the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Gu of the Dayu Dynasty..."
Su Linran received the information from the system. The original owner had already been engaged to the man she loved, but suddenly received an imperial decree asking her to enter the palace as a concubine.
The Emperor has been childless for so long that the country is on the verge of collapse. Several small border kingdoms are eyeing Dayu Kingdom covetously, ready to strike. The Imperial Astronomical Observatory conducted divinations overnight, and the result is that if the original owner enters the palace, the Emperor will surely have an heir! Only then will Dayu Dynasty be stable!
Upon hearing the news, the fiancé came over immediately to cancel the engagement and got engaged to the original owner's sister instead.
The original owner did not want to marry an emperor older than herself, and could not accept her fiancé's indifference, so she hanged herself.
"Host, your mission is to give birth to children for the Emperor of the Dayu Dynasty. The more children you give birth to, the more points you will receive!"
Su Linran, a modern-day office worker, died suddenly from overwork and ended up being bound to this childbearing system. Initially, she had no desire to complete the ridiculous childbearing task, but the system told her that if she did, she would receive 100 billion and be resurrected in her original world!
That's 100 billion! Even if she started working since the Pangu era, she might not be able to earn that much by the time the Interstellar Alliance was established.
No, you definitely won’t make any money!
So she was shamefully seduced and agreed to be bound to the system.
But the first thing she did was give birth to a child for the old emperor?! Su Linran looked up at the sky speechlessly. Forget it, since she was already here, she would feel like she was missing out if she didn't do something!
Su Linran quickly adjusted herself and shouted to the woman who pounced on her, "Mother."
Her voice was dry and unpleasant when she spoke, but Gu Chen still heard it.
She looked up at Su Linran in ecstasy, "Yingying! You finally woke up! I'm so glad you're okay! You really scared me to death!"
Seeing that her daughter was fine, Gu Chen burst into tears again, but this time it was tears of joy. The man standing beside her took two steps forward in joy because Gu Wanying had woken up.
"I'm sorry, Mom and Dad. It's all my fault." Gu Wanying whimpered and continued, "I just stepped into the gates of hell. I've finally figured it out. I can't punish my dearest parents with my own death. My life and death are related to the survival of our Gu family. I can't be so selfish and ignore the Gu family. As for Sun Chongming, he has nothing to do with me anymore!"
Gu Xiang was so excited that she burst into tears. Gu Chen hugged her again and just cried and called her name.
It was a long time before Gu Chen let the man go.
"I'm glad you've figured it out. Just now, mother really wanted to go with you!" Gu Chen cried and laughed. When she thought that Gu Wanying was about to enter the palace as a concubine, she felt so heartbroken that she burst into tears.
Gu Wanying reached out to wipe away the tears from her eyes and smiled softly, "Don't worry, mother, I really have figured it out."
Gu Chen had no doubts about Gu Wanying's extreme change of thought. She just felt sorry for her daughter who had to marry an emperor who was old enough to be her grandfather at such a young age!
"My dear, I'm relieved that you think of me this way. Life in the palace is not the same as at home." He choked up after just two words of instruction. "Alas, Dad can't bear to leave you..." Gu Xiang waved his hands guiltily and turned his head away so that his daughter and wife would not see him crying.
"Although the current emperor is older than your father, older men are more caring, and you are the destined one chosen by the Imperial Observatory. The emperor will definitely treat you well." Gu Chen brushed away the messy hair around Gu Wanying's ears and spoke softly.
Gu Wanying was speechless and choked up, and just nodded in agreement.
As soon as Prime Minister Gu and Gu Chenshi left, the maid Taoyue ran over happily, helped her wash and change her clothes, cooked soup for her, and chattered all the time just to make her happy.
So many people loved the original owner! How foolish it is that the original owner died like this!
She clearly felt a sour and swollen feeling in her heart, and a feeling of joy rose up. She knew that this was the original owner's emotion.
The news of Gu Wanying's awakening spread throughout the Gu Mansion in an instant. The maids and servants were all happy for her. The only person who was unhappy was probably Gu Qingqing.
She has loved snatching things from Gu Wanying since she was a child. As long as Gu Wanying likes something, she will grab it and claim her sovereignty.
Gu Wanying was so tolerant that she became a little cowardly and inactive. Gu Qingqing became even more arrogant and this time she directly snatched Gu Wanying's fiancé away!
Knowing that she was not dead, Gu Qingqing was so angry that she smashed the teacup and closed her eyes in anger.
But she changed her mind and realized that Gu Wanying was going to enter the palace as a concubine. Once she entered the palace, it would be like entering a deep sea. Gu Wanying might never be able to disturb her and her brother Chongming's happy life in this life.
The most important thing is that she and Brother Chongming can have many children, as long as she wants! And her good sister will probably only waste her years in the cold palace, waiting for death in loneliness.
She didn't believe the divination of the Imperial Observatory. It must be just an excuse!
Thinking of this, she became happy again, and her facial changes were comparable to those of Sichuan Opera, which frightened the maid so much that she dared not even breathe.
She couldn't wait to see if Gu Wanying was really awake, so she turned around and ran out.
Gu Wanying had just pulled out a Book of Songs to read when she saw Gu Qingqing barging in without Yuetao's notice. Yuetao followed behind Gu Qingqing with an angry look on her face. When she felt Gu Wanying's gaze, she bowed guiltily.
"What are you crazy about?" Gu Wanying withdrew her gaze and said lightly.
"Sister, you don't have to say that. I just came to see if you're still alive out of kindness." Gu Qingqing looked Gu Wanying over from head to toe, her eyes landing on the deep red marks on her neck. "Oh, you don't dare to really die, do you? Tsk tsk, you look so pitiful and unwanted. Did you know? As soon as Brother Chongming heard that you were chosen to enter the palace, he couldn't wait to cancel your engagement and get me instead! He cares so much about me, I'm so happy. I had to find someone to talk to, and it just so happens that you're free, sister."
Gu Wanying's hand holding the book paused slightly, and she clearly felt a sense of depression in her heart.
That was not her emotion, but that of the original owner.
"Look, this is a jade pendant of love! It was given to me by Brother Chongming himself." Gu Qingqing showed the jade pendant to Gu Wanying, smiling proudly, "You didn't know that? In fact, the person Brother Chongming has always liked is me. We have been together for a long time. Choosing you was just his father's idea."
